My Project

I love my students eagerness to learn: What makes them special is their unconditional love. The materials will make a difference in my students learning because they will now have the tools they need to strengthen their basic skills they need in order to move on to kindergarten and be successful confident students. Some of these basic skills are: Small motor skills: Language skills: Creative arts skills: Letter recognition: Number recognition: Writing skills: language skills: Social emotional skills: These materials will also help strengthen the children's cognitive skills as they are using them.
